Fix pg_isblank()
There was a pg_isblank() function that claimed to be a replacement for
the standard isblank() function, which was thought to be "not very
portable yet". We can now assume that it's portable (it's in C99).
But pg_isblank() actually diverged from the standard isblank() by also
accepting '\r', while the standard one only accepts space and tab.
This was added to support parsing pg_hba.conf under Windows. But the
hba parsing code now works completely differently and already handles
line endings before we get to pg_isblank(). The other user of
pg_isblank() is for ident protocol message parsing, which also handles
'\r' separately. So this behavior is now obsolete and confusing.
To improve clarity, I separated those concerns. The ident parsing now
gets its own function that hardcodes the whitespace characters
mentioned by the relevant RFC. pg_isblank() is now static in hba.c
and is a wrapper around the standard isblank(), with some extra logic
to ensure robust treatment of non-ASCII characters.
